About this property

Camping site , YURT, Red Rocks Amphitheater, HIKING .Mt. Vernon Ranch House

Camping site near . Red Rocks Amphitheater, Ski Slopes, plenty of hiking.

Greetings and thank you for looking into the camping site besides Historic, Mount Vernon House. We let you camp in style with no equipment required, we offer you a classic camping experience. Your tent is your home base. Your adventure starts here. There is a queen size bed, clean porta potty . Please don't confuse this with a cabin . Its only a nice tent on a deck! SHEETS AND BLANKETS ARE NOT INCLUDED!
Don’t expect a 5 star resort
Campsite overlooks into the Historic, Mount Vernon House. As the name shows this site is comfortably nestled in Colorado’s Mount Vernon Canyon, 20 minutes from downtown Denver and 45 minutes from Denver international Airport.
Please note : there is a full size off the ground bed, .. Can sleep four but 2 is more comfortable. We are have clean porta potties . The Glamping Tent can be driven up to. It is on a deck not the ground. It’s a yurt with a bed don’t expect to much. Or bring your own sleeping bags.
Location:
The Camping site is surrounded by a Jefferson County Open Space Park known as Mathews/Winters Park. So, there are many hiking trails within an extremely short walk, and many more within a short drive. You can walk to a brewery and restaurant. Five minute drive to Colorado Mills Mall. The site is 2 miles away from Red Rocks Amphitheatre, which there is a direct hiking trail. It is also about 2.5 miles from Bandimere Speedway, a NHRA dragstrip. The site is 45 minutes away from Loveland ski area, so if you are going skiing and are familiar with the area, you are close to many ski areas! It is very close to Golden which has many niche shopping areas and of course Coors Brewery. On the other end is the quite little town of Morrison which has many unique opportunities for restaurants and shopping. With all above mentioned you have a total secluded feel and still have many amenities nearby. The perfect access to major highways, means at times , in the summer, you will hear the rumble of some traffic. Ear plugs are provided or bring your own ear muffs. Please be aware you are staying in Colorado wilderness. You may encounter deer, fox , coyotes, raccoon, rattlesnake, owls , bobcat, rabbits, rattlesnake, moths, bats, Koala bears, birds, snow leopards, mountain lion, bear, elk, moose, gooses, cows, squirrel, honey badgers, magpies and fruit bats. Watch your steps and keep foods locked in your car. There are air horns provided to scare off un wanted visitors. You will be expected to tidy up after yourself as there is no house keeping service!! *There is no cleaning fee , but if you leave a mess you can/will be charged for cleaning , and nobody wants that! We used to provide more stuff but some people suck, they leave messes and steal items. Please be respectful of the next guest!! ALSO due to folks not showing up or changing their minds or not reading the listing, you do not get a full refund without 2 days notice, sorry we’ve been burned to many times with out time to rent to someone else. If you need additional space , like for a tent or camper you need ask for prior approval , and yes there is a service charge for the space. No fires are allowed .

The yurt worked out great for me and a friend! The yurt is on Private property with deep history to the original "Colorado Territory" which adds a historical flavor to the property. The host was very gracious and easy going and easy to talk with. It is a bit rustic there but not any more so then what the host's write up describes the property as. It was Super convenient to stay there for a concert night at Red Rocks; comfortable and kind of like camping without any crowds to battle. I am very glad I found this place to stay for the night!

I reached out to the property owner multiple times and didn’t get any response before our trip. The tent was out of propane and it was below freezing. The previous guests left used sheets under the bed so there was nothing for us to use. Location is really close to red rock but we were quite disappointed.

Not ideal for hot weather
The yurt was clean enough but there was absolutely no shade and so it was very hot and uncomfortable (July). Phone charger didn’t work and neither did the internet. The host wasn’t very responsive. Perhaps a different time of year would’ve been better.

Convenient location for a red rocks show
There were what seemed like used sheets on the bed from the previous guest and the charging station did not have any power to charge our phones. We were prepared with our own blankets for the bed. Otherwise it was a good place to stay if you live far from Red Rocks and don't want to drive home after a concert.

The property was exactly what I expected. The yurt/tent was cute and worked. Just be aware of the traffic on the highway that you'll hear all night, but the host warns about that.

Nice tent/yurt with more supplies than listed in the description. Nice solar shower and clean/stocked porta-potty. Beautiful surroundings and lots of birds. Really nice! Only downside:. Traffic noise with highway about 200 yards above.

Great yurt! Really enjoyed our stay. Hiking trails are just outside the door. There’s a brewery and convenience store 5 minutes away. Spent our days hiking and our evenings at red rocks watching concerts. Site was perfect for our needs. Dennis is a great guy and very helpful. We’ll be back.

Perfect location for Red Rocks concert
My son and two friends took a Senior road trip to Colorado and stayed here for one night. Dennis was great at emailing back for any question I had. A neat camping experience to have the yurt. They loved the set up, they said the shower was cool and the best was how easy it was to get to the amphitheater.

We were in the area for an epic performance at Red Rocks. We were able to hike back after and avoid all of the chaos. Plus we didn't have to worry about a potential DUI. Great location.

Simple accomodations
Don't expect much more than a tent, bed, clean linen, simple shower, and port-o-let. Road noise from I70 is an issue so bring ear plugs. The location next to Red Rocks and mountain bike trails makes it all worth it. Bring a tarp or pop-up for shade.
